Overview:

The battle for Aachen, the city of Charlemagne and the First Reich, had started two days earlier. American High Command had initiated a complicated series of maneuvers outside the city designed to isolate Aachen from the north and the south in a concentric attack encircling the city. The commanding generals had not given much thought to the units that were to frontally assault the city to keep the Germans’ attention other than to tell them to pin the Germans in place. Thus it was that these few American units faced some tough going. Not only were the defenders numerically superior, but they were fighting on home soil for one of the cherished Nazi symbols of power.

2025-12-07(D) Dave Mareske vs Craig Renier German winDown to the wire where the Germans were able to pin two US squads so they could not take the last building. The Germans overall had poor dice. The US drove up the middle of the boards with a couple flanking attacks. The HMG prevented the crossing of a street on board 76, but otherwise was fairly ineffective. The one German sniper was critical as it killed a leader, broke and pinned the squads with him. All and all a fun game that came down to the last turn. Could have been anyone's game.
2020-08-03(A) Alberto González Ramírez vs Javier G. American winTo be honest, Javier had bad luck.
His rolls were rarely less than 7.
2020-05-22(D) Richard Jenulis vs Richard King German winGermans went with option 2 and kept the Americans guessing as long as I could. Game went down to the last CC. VASL (game 3)
